Lipo-C is a lipotropic blend of three small molecules — methionine, inositol, and choline (the classic "MIC" combination) — supplied as a sterile solution, not a peptide. These compounds are studied together in the context of hepatic lipid handling and one-carbon (methyl-group) metabolism: choline and methionine are methyl-group donors, and inositol is a component of membrane phospholipid signaling. NovaWell supplies Lipo-C as a research blend for laboratory research use only, third-party tested for identity and endotoxin conformance.
Component biochemistry and research context
The three components are studied as inputs to overlapping metabolic pathways:
- Choline is an essential nutrient and a precursor to phosphatidylcholine and to betaine, a methyl-group donor. It participates in lipid transport and in one-carbon metabolism. See the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements professional fact sheet on choline (ods.od.nih.gov).
- Methionine is an essential amino acid and the precursor of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), the primary cellular methyl-group donor.
- Inositol (myo-inositol) is a carbocyclic sugar involved in membrane phosphoinositide signaling.
"Lipotropic" describes compounds studied for their role in hepatic lipid metabolism in the research literature. NovaWell references this background for scientific context only; it does not represent any use of this blend and publishes no administration guidance.
Storage & handling
Solution: Store at 2–8°C, protected from light. Do not freeze. As a sterile-filtered aqueous solution, Lipo-C is supplied ready-dissolved.
Vial format: 10 mL sterile solution in a sealed glass vial with rubber stopper and aluminum crimp.
Shipping: Ships refrigerated or with a cold pack. Keep refrigerated on receipt; protect from light; do not freeze.
Frequently asked questions
What is in Lipo-C?+
Lipo-C is a lipotropic blend of methionine, inositol, and choline — the "MIC" combination — supplied as a sterile solution. The exact per-component concentrations for the currently shipping lot are listed on its Certificate of Analysis. None of the three components is a peptide.
Is Lipo-C a peptide?+
No. Lipo-C is a blend of three small molecules (an amino acid, a carbocyclic sugar, and an essential nutrient), not a peptide. It is listed alongside the research peptides in this catalog because it is used as an ancillary research compound.
What does NovaWell test Lipo-C for?+
Each batch is tested by an independent third-party laboratory for identity of its components, bacterial endotoxin (USP <85>), and sterility (USP). The Certificate of Analysis for the currently shipping batch is available where a public COA library is provided.
How should Lipo-C be stored?+
Store at 2–8°C, protected from light, and do not freeze. As an aqueous solution it is more temperature- and light-sensitive than a lyophilized powder, so keep it refrigerated between uses.
